Community Reviews, Interviews & More

When NBC cancelled Community, fans were quick to say that we had entered "the darkest timeline."And for a while there it seemed like we had, and that the whole #SixSeasonsAndAMovie thing would never happen. But there might be hope for the show yet. The latest news it that Sony TV and Hulu have started to talk about the possibility of giving Community a sixth season via the...

On Friday, Community fans received some disheartening—but not altogether shocking or surprising or, considering how long it lasting, maybe not even that heartbreaking—news. That’s right, after five seasons that struggled for ratings, and one season (the fourth, in which creator Dan Harmon was absent due to termination) that simply struggled for laughs, NBC...

The journey of Community, which has been on the verge of cancellation every year since the season one, has been a hard one for fans, who've saw the show survive by its teeth for three seasons, saw it get a reduced order and new staff for the fourth, and then saw series creator Dan Harmon come back for the fifth season, only to lose both Chevy Chase and Donald Glover....

Community’s fifth season was an improbable gift - one largely spent returning to the wells of what worked earlier in the series. So it makes sense that as we near its uncertain future, “Basic Story,” revisits the notion that Greendale is in peril of being closed down – this time from its own success … and Subway.

Communityhas always been on the bubble. The show does well in its demographic, but has never had high ratings. But after five seasons, the show will have amassed 98 episodes -- two shy of the most syndication-friendly number -- while much of NBC's schedule hasn't worked out so hot. So now it seems like it will get to six seasons. The new twist is that there could...

Yea verily, Community returns to the world of D&D with “Advanced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.” The show is in good hands again, because Abed’s notes on the surrounding countryside look more extensive than The Silmarillion.

The stakes are a new roommate for Annie and Abed’s intense video board game in "VCR Maintenance and Educational Publishing." While the humor here doesn’t distinguish itself from what Community's done all season, the fact that the episode is solid speaks to how well the show is running.

Greendale acquires the power to quantify and judge human interaction in “App Development And Condiments,” which quickly spirals out of control. Community knows how to build great concept episodes, and this one’s no exception. For goodness sakes, there are outlands you can be banished to.

There appears to be a lot of confusion as to whether or not Donald Glover will be a part of the season 5 finale of NBC'sCommunity. It's even more difficult to understand that there's conflicting reports due to the fact that the character Troy has already departed from the show. Is it at all possible he could return to Greendale one last time? It's a little...

Annie’s path to corruption (and a new bulletin board) begins with Nathan Fillion in “Analysis of Cork-Based Networking.” But lest Community seem too svelte, Chang’s midterm dance theme goes over like a bear at a child's birthday party. Because his theme's actually ‘wild bear at a child’s birthday party.’

Troy Barnes floor-strides into the sunset, in one of Community’s most heartfelt concept episodes. “Geothermal Escapism” may be a game of “The Floor Is Lava” taken to its hilarious, dystopian apex, but it’s also a fitting farewell to one of the show’s strongest characters.

It’s unclear how the Ass-Crack Bandit of “Basic Intergluteal Numismatics” is actually a bandit. He’s putting stuff into butts, not trying to steal from them. Even if that premise isn’t silly enough for you, Community jumps into the deep end of genre and reminds us why it's one of the most creative celebrations of pop culture.

Community is back and there are no Ewoks. Creator Dan Harmon’s return does some serious back-bends to engineer a familiar status quo for the Greendale Seven (now Six). But both “Repilot” and “Introduction To Teaching” are surprisingly assured, character-focused and very funny.

It's almost here. It's one of those things that seemed impossible since Season one, but we're now actually about to start the fifth season of Community. And it looks like NBC is promoting it, trying to get people excited about what could be the final thirteen episodes of the series. Or perhaps it will get to a sixth season and a movie (of the week). Regardless, this...

After NBC ousted creator and showrunner Dan Harmon from Community prior to its fourth season, many fans were concerned that the hilarious and oddball college-set sitcom would flounder and flail without its character. And while it didn’t exactly fail (I’m pretty sure I nearly audibly chuckled once or twice during the season, and the show didn’t get cancelled),...
